Title: Improvements in Carburetters for Oxy-hydrogen Searchlights and other Projecting Lanterns.
Inventor: KAMM LEO
Filed: 1908-11-17
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 24,677. Kamm, L. Nov. 17. Oxy-hydrogen and like lamps; carburetting gas lamps; searchlights.-Relates to carburettors for oxy-hydrogen search-lights and other projecting-lanterns, of the kind in which compressed oxygen exerts pressure on one side of absorbent material saturated with a volatile hydrocarbon, while from the other side of the material the carburetted gas is given off. The carburettor is provided with a regulating-cock q, the body of which is formed integral with the body a of the carburettor.' The body a of the carburettor is an upright cylinder, in the 'centre of which is a vertical tube b closed at the top and open at the bottom. Surrounding the tube b are a series of wicks e soaked with petrol or the like, spaces being left above and below the wicks. Within the tube b is a tube m, which terminates below the carburettor in a burner n, and carries a bracket o for the lime cylinder. Compressed oxygen is admitted through a nozzle d and a passage c, and passes down the tube b and through the wicks e, and the carburetted oxygen passes up through the passage i and cock q, past the regulating-needle k, and along the passage i<2>, Fig. 3, to the tube m leading to the burner. The gas mixes in the tube m with a further supply of oxygen, which passes by a passage j through a second passage .in the cock q, past a regulating-needle l, Fig.2, and through, a passage j<2>, Fig. 3, to the tube m. An adjustable by-pass r admits a small supply of vapour to the tube m when the passages i, j are closed by the lock q. The carburettor is supported on lugs u<1> within a casing u fixed upon the body of the search-light, and the space between the carburettor and the casing forms a flue through which the hot gases pass upwards and heat the carburettor. A spring arm v<1>,pivoted to the casings and engaging a notch v<2> on the carburettor, locks this in the casing. The casing u can slide in guides w on the body of the search-light, and the upper part of the casing is removable from the lower as indicated at u<3>. When used for ordinary projecting-lanterns, the carburettor is carried upon guides on a supporting-plate, which is pivoted to a base-plate by a pivot pin adjustable along a slot in the plate. The burner and a bracket for supporting the lime cylinders are arranged in front of the carburettor, and the usual screw mechanism for adjusting the cylinders is controlled from the side of the carburettor by means of a flexible shaft.

Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 27,078. Parry, P. Dec. 14. Measured quantities, delivering.-Relates to an apparatus for dealing with material such as jam, peas, seeds, &c., in which the flow of material into, and the delivery from, a measuring-chamber is controlled by a pair of sliding shutters which alternately open and close the inlet and the outlet of the measuring-chamber. A series of measuring- chambers 3 is arranged at the base of a hopper 1 so that the upper inlet ends may be closed by a slide 6, while at the lower outlet ends a similar slide 7 is provided. These shutters move in the same direction, so that only the inlets or the outlets of the chambers 3 are open at one time. The shutters are joined at the rear by a slotted link 10, which is coupled to a curved arm 11 keyed on an oscillating shaft 12 operated by a handle 14. The jars 4 into which the material is delivered are arranged in trays 16 which slide between guides 17 on a table below the chambers 3. The table is fitted with a pair of spring stops 19, 20 which are connected together so that they may be actuated by treadle mechanism 21. When a tray is inserted, it normally rides over the first stop and is limited by the second stop, the first stop springing up when the tray is in place. When the treadle is operated, the stops lie flush with the table, enabling the tray to be withdrawn. The upper slide 6 is connected to the link 10 by a yoke 22 and connecting-rods 23. To seal the joint when the upper slide passes out of the hopper, a rubber band at 27, Fig. 4, fits along the inner corner of the hopper. A beadiog 28 on the siide ensures a tight joint when the slide is pushed home. Leakage is caught in a housing 30.
